The Thebarton Theatre (sometimes known as Thebbie Theatre or just Thebbie), is an entertainment venue located in the inner-western Adelaide suburb of Torrensville, South Australia. Constructed in 1926,[1] it is one of the most popular medium size venues in Australia.[citation needed] With a capacity of 2000, it is often used by newly formed bands and established international artists. Its small size is not only a more intimate experience with the audience, but is cheaper to rent when compared to the fees involved with renting a whole stadium.

The seating in the Thebarton Theatre is customisable, so it can be arranged from ’in the round’ seating for events such as boxing or even seating partially or fully removed to make room for a dance floor.

The Thebarton Theatre and the adjacent Municipal Offices are listed among the 120 nationally significant 20th century buildings in South Australia,[3] and are entered in the State Heritage Register.[4]

When the "old" Town Hall, built in 1885, proved inadequate, the council bought land on the corner of Henley Beach Road and Taylor's Road (now South Road).
